Ushers are an important element of the
religious ceremonies at a wedding. The
ushers can be male younger members of the
family, friends of the bride or groom and
even members of the congregation at the
church where your wedding ceremony will take
place. It is a good idea to pick them from
both sides of the family. This way there
will be someone who recognizes a guest no
matter which side of the family the guest
belongs to. There's no limit to how many can
be appointed.
Usually two ushers are sufficient if there
are less than sixty guests.
However, as the number of guests increases,
so should the number of ushers in order to
ensure that all the guests are welcomed and
shown to their seats and
handing out 'order of service' sheets on
arrival. If there are few ushers, then the
groomsmen can also be asked to take on the
task of ushering in the guests. It is
important that the ushers arrive at the
wedding location well in advance of the
start of the ceremony.
In fact, ideally the
ushers should be there about 45 minutes to
an hour before the ceremony begins. |
